The search engine is not too good (so search for example just with "trauer" and "perle" respectively)."

The Petrucci Music Library is an essential database for musicians, music librarians and teachers, as well as lovers of classical music.

Searching by melody is particularly interesting, as it launches an interactive keyboard on which users may play (or, for those of us less musically inclined, attempt to play) a familiar melody in order to search the database for it.
